Red China too is an extreme example of a War against the High and mighty  struggle is controlled and directed by the followers of Motse Tung. There too the entrenched party bureaucracy waste establishment. In China the bureaucracy grew swiftly after the communist takeover in 1950. It be came huge and difficult for Mao to handle a Power instrumenting the hands of others involved in routine with a stake in the status quo. In this Mao saw a danger that the party would sur Render its influence to the bureaucracy the Strong an authoritative establishment. In the soviet Union in communist ruled Poland and East Germany it is Youthful ferment which bothers the political Lead ers. All have had their distinct manifestations of the resistance to the establishment. As in the West students and intellectuals join hands in protest. In the East the protest is often against Lack of intellectual and cultural Freedom.

The winds of Pompidou faces a censure vote in the National Assembly on wednesday. One of the leftist leaders of his razor thin policies of de Gaulle but French politicians have a Way of Mak ing everything seem possible. Both de Gaulle and Mendes pained against de Gaulle s Constitution he fought gaullist initiatives at every step. He paid for it by being unseated As a As Long ago As 1956, it was the student movement in Hunan and in Poland which led Rebe lion against the establish ment. Czech Young people know tue sep know whal happened to those movements when then leaders went too far the were crushed. In the United states and the Western hemisphere once again the establishment finds itself the target of youngsters How Ever Small their numbers who resist conformity. The French experience thus is Apt to spread the contagion. To the Middle aged what the students Are doing looks like a wild mixture of All  ideologies wrapped up in one. There arc 600.000 University students in France More than three times the number of 10years ago and the ranks of eligible Are growing All the time. The facilities can no longer keep up with them. An about a fifth of these students now Are reported directly involved in the mad multiplicity of rebellion in France. In Paris Here Are anarchists nihilists Trotsky its Cas taoists maoists. Che Guevar admirers anything but admirers of Tho French establish ment in which the rebel Stu dents scornfully include the orthodox f r e n c h communist party. Openly they Are demanding the Freedom to destroy the stale As it now exists. The atmosphere May appear carnival and Gay to the onlooker watching the Rush of rebellion but the students claim to be deadly serious about it.

Moved to Grenoble to set up a compromises with the system Gale  a week ago Premier Georges Pompidou looked like Aman riveted to his Job. His poli tical stature and popularity were near a Peak. Now he is being spoken of privately As a has been. The parallel and contrast with the May 13, 1958, events which started in Algeria and engulfed All France in a revolutionary spirit Are evident. That revolt from the right reduced the government of pre Mier Pierre Pflimlin to helpless Ness and led to the downfall of the fourth Republic and the re turn to Power of president Charles de Gaulle. This time the uprising is fro the left. Students started it with strikes and occupation of universities and worker movements spontaneously copied the Stu dents. As the Industrial strike spread the government seems powerless to do anything about it. Ordering in police to try to Chase the workers out of the plants would Lead to bloody fighting which no one wants. French Public opinion  tolerate a show of Force pit Tang police against workers censure vote it is hard to see How he can get the country Back on an even keel. Leftists Are standing by anxiously waiting for a Chance to form a government. And a sur prising name Pierre Mendes France is most often mentioned As the Choice for the next pre Mier. Veratio f l de Gaulle walked out in 1946 after the French people adopted a Constitution which he said would not work. He went to his country Home at Colombey Les Deus Eulises in Eastern franc and waited for the Call for a return to Power which finally came when the nation teetered on the Brink of revolt in may1958. Mendes France made his Impact when he was called in As Premier in May 1954, with Promise to end the indochinese War. He led the negotiations a Geneva which resulted in split new base. He is now a Deputy. Aji across the political spectrum Mendes France is a leftist but from extreme i he to the or is not a member of any party. He is Allied with the Small uni fied socialist party Psi which nestles Between the old line socialists and communists. Al though Mendes France has fought de Gaulle the president never has made a counter move and seems to hold Mendes France in High respect. A 4 it 11.  t a Thordox communist left.

By som sort of Miracle Pompidou might survive. If Pompidou i Defeated de Gaulle might de cide on new elections. But the quickest Way to re store order and get France Back on the move might be a Call Tomenes France. At this stage of development it is hard to see How a leftist government headed by Mendes France could live in peace with the determined Vietnam and South Vietnam. Heathen called up the thorny euro Pean army treaty in parliament where it was Defeated. Mendes France was thrown out after 7months and 17 Days in office when members of his own part became distrustful of his intentions toward Algeria.
